should never have left you
should never have let you board the train
I could have followed heart with hand
I would ensure your safety
you would have known i love you
do you know?
im not sure sometimes youre fully aware
i set my watch to you
whatever you want
I want to lay before you
before you have the thought
scream out excitement im laying all this down
sending it via song to you
should never have let you board alone

Not For Rebecca

last time I saw you
Just off the alley
avoid the skins, man
keep your cool.
they can smell disgust
arms crossed and scoffing
at your hearts unequaled output
until the moment
you brought cowards to their feet with dancing
they got credit for a three chord symphony
did i get it? have i misread everything
i was 15 and just a grommet on the scene
we've never spoken but you're still speaking to me
all the hearts are changing
not true
not me
not true
if i bought a rocket ship to canada would you copilot the trek?
would you copilot with me?
not rebecca

Toast For Two

Brutal. one word description. this year
has taken its toll out with sickness on our health
taking beatings dealt and dealing
draining the savings down to nothing
the first on the mind is the first of every month
is breaking us
give me more
is that all you got?
fuel the fire for the road less traveled
traveling we laugh
you can't make us fall
pushing through 80 hour work weeks
somehow still falling short in every sense
sensing danger on horizons rising up to take defense
from hazards behind the door
give me more
is that all you got in store for us?
feed us a thousand rain filled nights and soak us through the floor
we wont fall
we're still alive
the corner of my eye
black clouds converse step up to pick another fight
the doppler five confirms their plans i'm welcoming the night
with bloodshot shooting back the thunders growl
we're still alive

Part Three

I dropped in to find you curled up next to your new best friend
you've done it again
you proved it one hundred times
this is 101 to me
you don't need me or anyone to hold your hair back as the venom is expelled
a camel crawls away
a broken vertabrae he leaves behind
a needle buried deep
beneath a pile of broken promises
you'll call me
you left me kicking and screaming

from across town flash across my mind
felt you falling to the floor with gail wind force
curl up the form quick hands to face
feel the crushing weight and strength beneath their legs
the kidneys bleed the chest constricts
close your eyes and concentrate to catch your breath
the damage done the deal complete
the circle breaks their separate ways to celebrate
count teeth with tongue taste for blood
take your licks and lick your wounds and walk away
and belly up request refill to kill the brain cells and the pain connected with
alcohol will keep the pain at bay
and keep you from braying out for help in weakened state
from across town
flashed across my mind
felt you crawling cross the floor to find the phone
reciever rings and source identifies
cant pick it up to pick you up or bail you out
state of emergency
state of distress
so take your place and state your name and your disease

My Fault

hard to admit
situations strangling me
choking back tears grasping for strength
pushing myself to the point
stuttering stumbling mumbling metaphors
but no words could soften the blow
turn back the clock
ill take the blame
when i took your hand
led you to safety
led you to let down your guard
painted perfect pictures promising id give the world for you
left you empty
i know
you don't want my im sorry's but im sorry is all i have
i tried and failed
i left you behind
buried my head in my arms in the sand in the dark to hide
hurt too much too young too soon to deal
but we both know that's no excuse
im failing you now
tearing you down
i coaxed you up to kick you down
please hate me me and please hit me verify this pain caused and return

CO2

if you don't mind
ill navigate this flight
tonight just started and already i hate everyone
and everyones in my way
the high way calls out
tonight
im taking aim at objects in my sights
im burning
incinerating everyone
and everything in my way
i will call out to you
you hold the answer close
bottled remedy
the co2 you see do you see me?
I'm crawling deeper down inside my skin
rethinking regroup rearmoring this shell
cold and calloused grey
i will whisper your name
my guts are twisted up and wrenched apart
like junkies for a fix
fix me
i strain my ears in silence waiting for you
you hold the answer close
barbituates you bring
the co2 will you sense my pain and

Warship Psalm
03:26

getting classic at losing tempers and winning fights against the walls
spiderwebs and swelling fingers a stubborn fool will claim them all
lord hear our prayer
theres no peace here in the valley in the matter behind bloodshot eyes
that novelty fell by the wayside with the strength to keep in disguise
a fathers son is screaming thunder demanding answers from empty skies
laying blame on this dark city its greatest evil is my design
i can hear them in sanctuaries warming up hallelujah
keep them swelling for moment
when i heed the alter call
i can hear them in the distance
i can hear them outside the gate
singing softly sweet and tender
last lost lamb it's not too late

as they leapt and danced on the grave
what you'd laid to rest rewound replayed
pain is oxygen
beating on the backs before me
eyes closed i swear
i curse the heart of the scene
turn up the house lights and the flaws
cant fight it
cant stand it
im an ugly angry
ripping past all the pain they cause
charge full throttle
or swallow everything inside
pain is oxygen
you know it well
you breathe it in
it's the comfort of a cage we helped you create
your knees are now buckling from the weight
beating on the backs before me
eyes closed i swear I'll keep the pain out of their view
you gave much more than they deserve and they take
they suck the life right from your veins
your pain is all just entertainment for their ears
hear them cheer
hear them scream
hear them desecrate your requiem
